What is the history of that photo?
I am embarrassed to admit that I have not seen it before.
Is it real, or photo shopped?
Is that guy still alive, or did the photo get sent by email or cell phone, to a loved one, prior to his death?

Photo shopped just after 9-11. Used to be lots of threads where the “tourist guy” appeared in various scenes, much like the looter with the beer in New Orleans who keeps showing up.

Google “Tourist guy” images and you will get your fill.

Oh lord!!! Where have you been? It is such a great story.

His name is “Tourist guy.”

If no one helps you out in next few minutes, I will.

He is everywhere. He was also at the Concord crash, at the Hindenberg crash, and much, much more.

Tourist Guy is Peter Guzli, a Hungarian.

Although the article does not say this (I read it in another article), he had spend sometime in Colorado. He had a job there but had left for home when 9/11 happened. And by the way, he is not at the WTC center in that photo. He was on another building. Notice it was cold, therefore, not September.
